The company says it's “now the smartest ai assistant you can use for free.” As for use case scenarios, the company touts the ability to help users study for exams, plan dinners, and schedule nights out. You already know what to do. It is an ai chatbot.
Meta ai, however, has expanded to almost every corner of the company's entire portfolio, after a trial. It is still available on instagram, but now users can access it on Messenger, facebook and Whatsapp. The chatbot also has a dedicated web portal at, wait for it, ai/” rel=”nofollow noopener” target=”_blank” data-ylk=”slk:meta.ai;cpos:3;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas” class=”link “>. You don't need to log in to the company to use it this way, although it won't generate images. The recently released ones also integrate with the bot, and will soon integrate with the Quest headset.
On the topic of image generation, Meta says that it is now much faster and will produce images as you type. He also handles custom animated GIFs, which is cool. Hopefully, he will be able to successfully generate images of different races of people. We discovered this a couple of weeks ago, as he seemed to be biased towards creating images of people of the same race, even when asked otherwise.
Meta is also expanding its global availability alongside this update, as Meta ai is coming to more than a dozen countries outside the U.S. These include Australia, Canada, Ghana, Jamaica, Pakistan, Uganda, and others. However, there is an important caveat. It's only in English, which doesn't seem very useful for a global audience, but whatever.
In terms of security and reliability, the company says that Llama 3 has been trained with an expanded data set compared to Llama 2. It also used synthetic data to create extensive documents to train with and claims that it excluded all data sources that They are known to contain a “large volume of personal information about individuals.” Meta says it conducted a series of evaluations to see how the chatbot would handle risk areas such as conversations about weapons, cyber attacks and child exploitation, and adjusted them as necessary. In our brief tests with the product, we already encountered hallucinations, as seen below.
ai has become one of Meta's CEOs, along with in an isolated Hawaiian resort, but the company is still playing catch-up with OpenAI and, to a lesser extent, Google. Meta's Llama 2 never wowed users due to a limited feature set, so perhaps this new version of the ai assistant will catch lightning in a bottle. At the very least, you should be able to draw lightning in a bottle, or more accurately, slightly modify someone else's drawing of lightning in a bottle.
